    Abstract Prevailing dry conditions and rainfall deficit during the spring season in North India led to heat wave conditions which resulted in widespread and intense forest fire events in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand during April 16-30, 2022. A total of 7589 active fires were detected by VIIRS during the second half of April 2022 compared to 1558 during the first half. The TROPOMI observed total column values of CO and NO

    Abstract Introduction Earlier reports on the effect of temperature on gut motility concentrated on experiments conducted on the small intestines of adult animals. The effect of temperature on the large intestine, particularly in neonates, warrants further investigation. The current study investigated the effect of a temperature increase and its mechanism in the colon and rectum of neonate and adult rats. Methods and materials In an organ bath preparation, segments from the colon and rectum were subjected to increasing bath temperatures (37°C-40°C). In other groups, pretreatment with capsazepine (1 µM) and Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) (100 µM) was done, in different groups, to assess their impact on temperature-induced contractile response. Results Increasing the bath temperature significantly reduced the contractile tension in the colon and rectum. When L-NAME (100 µM)-pretreated segments of the colon and rectum were subjected to different bath temperatures, the contractile tension increased compared to the contractile tension at different bath temperatures without any drug. Capsazepine (1 µM) pretreatment, on the other hand, enhanced the decrease in the contractile tension in the colon and rectum of adult rats compared to the contractile tension produced at different bath temperatures without any drug, while in neonates, capsazepine (1 µM) pretreatment caused a rise in the contractile tension in the rectum with no effect in the colon. Increased bath temperature from 37°C to 40°C increased the contractile frequency in the colon and rectum in both adult and neonate rats. Pretreatment with L-NAME (100 µM) and capsazepine (1 µM) in adults and L-NAME (100 µM) in neonates caused an increase in the contractile frequency in both the colon and rectum; on the other hand, capsazepine pretreatment did not affect the contractile frequency in the colon and rectum of neonate rats compared to the contractile frequency produced at different bath temperatures without any drug. Conclusion The contractile response of rats' large intestines, colon, and rectum to increasing temperatures may involve nitric oxide (NO)-mediated and transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1)-mediated mechanisms. The effects of capsazepine on the colon and rectum of adults and neonates differ, possibly due to the TRPV1-mediated mechanism not developing properly in the neonate and developing later in adulthood.

    Abstract Introduction: Peritonitis is a complication in patients on peritoneal dialysis that frequently results from touch contamination. Most cases of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis are caused by skin organisms. Herein, we are presenting a series of peritonitis cases with unusual organisms in a single home dialysis center at an academic hospital in New York City.
    Methods: The records of five patients with an unusual cause of peritonitis were reviewed by a clinician. We have chronologically tabulated the cell count of the dialysate, microbiologic cultures, and antibiotics received by each patient. Additionally, both a table and figure detail the microbiologic organisms that our dialysis unit encountered over the 3-year period concurrent with the infections reported.
    Results: The first patient presented with refractory polymicrobial peritonitis due to a liver abscess. Another patient presented with diverticulitis and developed enteric peritonitis with various organisms. The following patient had peritonitis in the setting of bowel pathologies and from Rhizobium after exposure to plants. The next patient developed Pasteurella peritonitis from his cat. The final patient developed multiple episodes of peritonitis from organisms including flora native to soil and water.
    Conclusion: These uncommon cases of peritonitis with unusual circumstances bring awareness to various elements that can lead to peritonitis.

    Abstract Background: Most patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) in the United States choose automated PD via cyclers. Cyclers have evolved considerably over time with older versions (e.g. HomeChoice Pro) replaced by more sophisticated and technologically advanced versions (e.g. Amia). Understanding the effect that different cyclers and their features have on patient treatments and support needs is important.  METHODS: Single center study with retrospective and prospective arms. Retrospective arm: Patients > 18 years old, on Amia or HomeChoice Pro (HC) for ≥ 3 months between 8/1/17 and 1/31/18. Number of office/telephone encounters, PD-related emergency room visits/hospitalizations, PD training days, and dialysis adequacy (Kt/V) were recorded. Prospective arm: Patients > 18 years old, on Amia or HC for ≥ 3 months between 9/1/19 and 2/29/20 were surveyed on their comfort, troubleshooting, satisfaction and reported assistance needed with their cyclers.
    Results: Retrospective arm: 43 patients on AMIA and 27 patients on HC. Number of PD training days, Kt/Vs achieved, PD-related telephone/office encounters, and PD-related emergency room visits/hospitalizations were all similar. Prospective Arm: 32 patients on AMIA and 6 patients on HC. Higher rate of patient comfort with AMIA, but similar overall patient satisfaction with both cyclers. No difference in terms of patient-reported troubleshooting issues requiring assistance.
    Conclusions: Despite the difference in features provided between the 2 cyclers, patient overall satisfaction rates were high irrespective of the PD cycler. The HomeChoice Pro and AMIA cycler patients had a similar number of PD training days, PD-related telephone/office encounters, and PD-related emergency room visits/hospitalizations.
    Trial registration: This study was approved by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Institutional Review Board (IRB-17-02704).

    Abstract Introduction: Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has become the most severe intercontinental health challenge and pregnant women are deemed to be a special population group. The COVID-19-related restrictions on visiting the hospital for antenatal check-up and procedures may be distressing for them. The present study aims at assessing the level of anxiety and risk perception of pregnant women during the pandemic. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included all pregnant women who were above 18 years of age, irrespective of their gestational age. They were administered the pre-designed, pre-tested questionnaire via face-to-face interview. The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and its influence on women's experience including her worries were collected. Data analysis was done using SPSS software version 22. Results: A total of 130 pregnant women with a mean maternal age of 26.1 ± 6.5 years were enrolled in the study. The mean gestational age of the women was 19 ± 4.7 weeks and most of them were in the second trimester (48.5%). Most of the pregnant women encountered the adverse socioeconomic influence of COVID-19 on their daily life (55.6% somewhat, 9.1% moderately so, 1.1% very much). Majority of them reported that they had limited their social activities (78.5%) and amorous relationship with their partner (30.8%). Also, around 59.2% of antenatal women experienced a moderate level and 40.7% had a mild level of anxiety. Conclusion: It is essential for obstetric providers to do prompt identification of mental health concerns in perinatal women and to liaise with mental health professionals to provide relevant interference.
